To the editor: The assertion by contributing author Josh Hammer that “politics, coverage and legislation are false sources of that means” is ridiculous (“What retains me grounded and grateful within the vacation season,” Nov. 27).
Versus politics, he tells us, “This vacation season, I’m grateful for my household — above all, my spouse and our stunning daughter, who’s about to show 1.” Get up, buddy — politics, coverage and legislation will decide the world you and your loved ones will dwell in, a world that’s heading for disaster underneath the present lawless regime with insurance policies that eat up religion, consolation, well being, properly being, freedom and equity.
I’m glad I’ve lived to be 83 and was in a position to dwell in a free America that was making an attempt to do the best factor for the most individuals, the place the 2 events compromised for the larger good, and alternative was continually reborn with character and fact. It was by no means excellent, nevertheless it labored on betterment in lieu of break.
By the best way, Hammer, the Declaration of Independence that you simply consult with and recognize offers foundational rules for American authorized thought and constitutional interpretation. It’s a supply of elementary rights that at the moment are being discarded by the president and the Republican Occasion.
